Organization Giveaway!!

Today is my one year Blogaversary!!! I am so excited to have arrived at this date with so many wonderful readers and so much inspiration from all of YOU.

Since it is the season for making New Year's Resolutions, and for most of us it begins with cleaning out our closets, I thought a fun give away would be something to do with organization!!

What better store to help us get organized than “The Container Store.”

To celebrate this important day (at least in my life) I will be giving the winner of the drawing a $75 gift certificate at the container store.

To enter please leave a comment and let me know that you are a follower or have just become a follower.

Not a requirement to be entered in the drawing, but if you have the time, I would love to hear what you as a reader would enjoy seeing more of on my blog - or any other improvements you think I could make to ensure that your visits here are more enjoyable.

That is it!!! Just leave a comment and become a follower!!!
(Drawing will take place one week from today, so on Monday the 10th!)
Good Luck to you all!!

Thank you to all of you who have supported me throughout this past year. It has been a whole new experience for me and one that I never would have ventured into without the encouragement from the people that I love. You all know who you are!!

So without further ado………

Let the Giveaway begin!!

“Enjoy the Process” Of:

The possibility of getting a $75 gift card from The Container Store!

My Very First Blog Post!

January 3, 2010

In the beginning there was a blog, or at least the start of a blog. I am starting this journey with a little trepidation but also with excitement.

I have been following blogs for over a year now and have been entertained and informed and inspired.

I can only hope that my blog will do that for those that read it. We are starting a new year, and I for one am looking forward to a better and more productive year.

I am a true believer in Life is what you make it, it is all about choices. In decorating my own home I have found choices in ones home can truly affect how one feels about life.

I have so enjoyed my journey in Design and I hope this blog will continue to be a creative outlet for me and a fun read for those that choose to follow it.

I plan to "Enjoy The Process" and I hope you do too.

Kathysue

Little did I know then just how much I would be:" Enjoying The Process!!"

Congrats on your first year - it really is a milestone! I am a follower and have enjoyed your site, and have also passed it onto my sister. Love what you have done so far ..would really like to see your take and insight on older homes.. smaller bathrooms and kitchens i.e. and what can be done to give them pizazz!!Best Wishes for the New Year!!

Congratulations Kathysue!! I've been a happy follower for a while now and I love your blog, don't change a thing! Thanks for the opportunity to win the gift card, what a great idea! I wish you all the best in 2011, and I'm looking forward to another year of wonderful posts on your blog!

Congratulations Kathysue on your 1 year Anniversary of blogging your FABULOUS BLOG!!!! I just recently "found you" and am not only obsessed with your gorgeous decorating style, but your inspirational "words of wisdon"....I love how you started this brand new year off with the importance of God & your family FIRST ~ It put a LOT of things in perspective for me :) As far as your DECORATING.....PLEASE DON'T CHANGE A THING AND PLEASE KEEP POSTING PHOTOS'S FROM YOUR AMAZING HOME!!!!!!

I am now an 'official' follower though I visit your blog nearly everyday and find it always informative. It feels like I dropped by for a cup of coffee or I'm attending a small workshop in a cozy environ. I appreciate your enthusiasm and your good eye for detail and atmosphere.

When I am blog hopping I like to see blogs that have more photos on than just the one post. That way I can see more of what the blog is about. If it just has one post and no side photos it is too much trouble to keep going back to each post to see more of the blog. Let people get to know what you are about and the great designs you have.Congrats ! Kathy

Hi Kathysue. Congrats on your one year milestone! Way to go! I enjoy your blog and have been a follower for a long time...I think since you started. I love the Container Store. I got some great pull out drawers a couple of years ago that make a huge difference in my kitchen storage. Love 'em! Linda

I still can't believe it's been a year already. Of course I'm a follower (I would follow you anywhere tee hee). I wouldn't change a thing about your blog. Your posts are always so fun and inspirational. Congrats on your anniversary! Hugs, Kat

I've heard about the Container store, but have not checked them out yet, but will do soon!Don't you just love organization? It makes me feel all fresh and new...hmmm... looking around my office, maybe I'd better get at it too!

Congratulations! Just look at all of these friends you have made in the past year. I can't imagine anything that you could do that would make me enjoy visiting here any more. I always love your thoughts and images but your enthusiastic spirit is the very best. Keep on bloggin girl!

Happy blogaversary, Kathysue. I hadn't signed up for this yet. I was waiting to get lower on the list. Great giveaway and congrats. I started the end of January so almost one year. Yes we have been on this journey together!

Kathysue, Congratulations on your one year!! I knew you would be great at this, you have a way about you that makes people love you and you know so much about decorating a home. I would'nt change a thing either! I love the inspirational pictures from other sources as well as pictures of your gorgeous home that you so lovingly have put together.

Happy blogaversary Happy blogaversary Happy blogaversary....*takes deep breath and sings out loud* HAPPY BLOGAVERSARY!!! Ahem I'm a follower from way back in the stone ages *winks* I love everything you do Kathysue! So just keep em coming! Vanna

My dear Kathysue - Don't enter me in the drawing because I'm a close friend, but even close friends don't always take the time to express adequately their admiration and respect for your talent and God-given gift of decorating. The fact that you take so many hours out of your day to make a difference in so many lives leaves me in awe. I am an extremely busy district level administrator in a large school district. I barely have time to wade through my professional reading, much less any decorator magazines. However, we entertain a lot in our home and serve as the fellowship hall for our "start up" church, so I want a home that looks attractive and welcoming. You have made that possible and I love you for sharing your expertise! Keep those blogs coming. My whole office looks forward to reading them!

I am a new follower! I was reading a bit on your archived posts and my house is cluttered ,drab and messy. I think I could really put this blogaversary gc to good use.or, I could move, trash all my old stuff and start over.I enjoyed all I have read ,so far.thank you!tattgiff at centurytel dot net

Wow, amazing how fast a year goes!!!We need to celebrate!!Of course you know how I feel about you and your blog :) In a word... PERFECT.Don't change a thing!!!All of us clearly enjoy the process of reading Good Life of Design and following Miss Kathysue!!!Love you,Terri

Congrat's on the year, mine is coming up too!!!I love the container store. Where I used to work they opened up a 2 story accross the street, I haven't been in cuz I'm scared I would want everything.I think you blog is very neat and organized and ofcourse I follow you!XOKristin

Congratulations, Kathysue! Happy 1 Year! Blogland is awesome, isn't it? Such a wonderful community. What a great give-away, thank you so much. I could definitely use some help from the Container Store for my office:)

Found you through a comment you left over at The Lettered Cottage - started following you even before the requirement was advised! Love what you're doing with your home! So, I'm commenting and following and loving it!

Congrats to you! And what a sweet giveaway! I am in the middle of cleaning and organizing so this would be great for me! I'm a new follower and I am having a giveaway this week! So I hope you'll stop by to enter! I like a blog that mixes things up and does lots of different posts! Hugs! ♥

Congratulations on your anniversary. I am new to the blog world, but when I clicked on your blog via Eddie Ross, I could not stop reading. You are terrific and inspiring. You have inspired me to tackle the garage/laundry room this past weekend. I'm still in the process, but thanks to you have created a bit of momentum. When I loose site I will come to your blog and recharge my batteries. Looking forward to a Purge Year!
